29th OFTA Film Awards
This awards season has been characterized by a spread-the-love approach with plenty of films failing to dominate everything else. Best Picture only winning two other awards is a common occurrence with the OFTA, so the result of Anora winning the top award and little else is not unexpected. Awards Tallies (5) The Substance (3) Anora,…

32nd Cinema Audio Society Awards
It’s a big surprise that Dune: Part Two didn’t pick up this prize. That said, the film has been underperforming most of the year, so perhaps this shouldn’t be a surprise. That said, BAFTA went Dune: Part Two, so there’s still hope for it at the Oscars. If A Complete Unknown picks up the MPSE…

56th NAACP Image Awards
Not much to say about these when they went with films and performances that are objectively not among the year’s best or most popular. Awards Tallies (5) The Six Triple Eight (3) Nickel Boys (2) Luther: Never Too Much, The Piano Lesson, Wicked (1) Bad Boys: Ride or Die, Emilia Pérez, Fight Night: The Million…

40th Spirit Awards
As expected, Oscar contenders did better than those that weren’t Oscar-nominated. Anora took top honors and put Demi Moore on her backfoot again. Awards Tallies (3) Anora (2) Dìdi, A Real Pain (1) Familiar Touch, Flow, Girls Will Be Girls, His Three Daughters, My Old Ass, Nickel Boys, No Other Land, A Photographic Memory, September…

52nd Saturn Awards
As a curiosity, these are interesting. As an Oscar forecaster, they aren’t much good, though Demi Moore and The Wild Robot are in good company. Awards Tallies (4) Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Deadpool & Wolverine, Dune: Part Two (2) The Substance (1) Alien: Romulus, Dream Scenario, Godzilla Minus One, Late Night with the Devil, Longlegs, Strange Darling,…

65th British Academy Awards
BAFTA voters have confirmed some of our suspicions but also thrown a gear into the works of several categories. Three of the four acting winners are likely to repeat at the Oscars, though if Brody loses at SAG, that could create a different narrative. Conclave proved more appealing than Anora, which makes sense considering the…

29th Satellite Awards
While there are some similarities to the Golden Globes, there are quite a few differences. Interesting that Anora won the comedy category but won nothing else while Wicked came out on top for the number of awards but didn’t get a top prize. Strange times. Awards Tallies (4) Wicked (3) The Brutalist (2) Dune: Part…

29th Art Directors Guild Awards
Winners or runners-up were chosen at the ADG and it’s clear that period and fantasy were more important than architectural interests. The Brutalist winning the Oscar hinged upon its success here. There Will Be Blood and Lincoln have similar profiles with the former winning the ADG and the latter not. This doesn’t tell us which…
